TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35: 2019

Hey guys! A reader sent me a message stating that I forgot to publish my TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35 considering last year's (2019) performances and works. So, I think I owe you this post!

We're right halfway 2020, but let me present you TOP 35 ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WITH/UNDER 35. It's the farewell song for some of the most talented young actors and actresses of the last couple of years, which are those born in 1984: Scarlett Johansson (who departs in great fashion at #1 spot), Paul Dano (not bad at #26, but mostly because of the lack of acting projects in the last couple of years) and Gaspard Ulliel (who didn't made the TOP 35 because of the lack of remarkable works since 2016 and ferocious fresh competition, but he got an honorable mention). They "reached" 35 years old in 2019, so... they are ineligible for this year's works for the 2020 edition next year. But there are a lot of fresh faces with a lot of potential in this edition: George MacKay, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Taron Egerton, Daniel Kaluuya, Dev Patel (re-entering the TOP 35), Jessie Buckley and Lily-Rose Depp. What a nice bunch of new additions!

So, here's the TOP 35:

MALE HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Alden Ehrenreich for Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Josh O'Connor for God's Own Country (2017)
Ezra Miller for The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
Jack O'Connell for Starred Up (2013)
Lakeith Stanfield for Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Nocturnal Animals (2016)
Gaspard Ulliel for It's Only the End of the World / Juste la fin du monde (2016)

FEMALE HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Awkwafina for The Farewell (2019)
Elizabeth Debicki for The Great Gatsby (2013)
Adèle Exarchopoulos for Blue Is the Warmest Color / La vie d'Adèle (2013)

Amandla Stenberg for The Hate U Give (2018)
Anya Taylor-Joy for The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ). Finall...

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

ACTOR/ACTRESS OF THE MONTH: Michelle, ma belle

Michelle Pfeiffer Born: April 29, 1958 in Santa Ana, California, USA Oscar recognition: 1989 - Best Supporting Actress for Dangerous Liaisons (nom) 1990 - Best Leading Actress for The Fabulous Baker Boys (nom) 1993 - Best Leading Actress for Love Field (nom) One of the most beautiful women that ever walked on Earth, Michelle Pfeiffer was the A-list of the A-list in the late 80's and in the begining of the 90's, managing to get 6 Golden Globe nominations (winning one) 6 years in a round, for 6 amazing performances. She called attentions with her charm and voice in the movie musical flop Grease 2 , but she started gaining a "serious actress reputation" after appearing in Brian de Palma's Scarface . After Scarface , she became the biggest Hollywood movie star and delivered iconic performances as Susie Diamond in The Fabulous Baker Boys and as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Tim Burton's Batman Returns . After some years away from stardo...
